A former Roane County man, Russell Davis, 45 (pictured left), is being held in
North Central Regional Jail, following his arrest on drug charges at Creston,
Wirt County.
Davis was charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to
deliver and two counts of conspiracy. He remains in South Central Regional
Jail.
A female identified as Barbara McCaffrey, 20, of South Point, Ohio was charged
with possession of less than 15 grams.
Two other men were arrested, Robert "Slim" Henderson, 27 (pictured left), and
John Whiteside, 30, whose origins are reportedly out-of-state. Whiteside has
been released on bond.
Officials reportedly found large quantities of powder cocaine, crack cocaine
and marijuana in a mobile home Davis was renting, a short distance west of
Creston along State Route 5. State Police found a stolen gun in the trailer
among several weapons.
Police have indicated the arrests are linked to drug trafficking in the region.
Russell Davis gave testimony in the Judd Reid murder case in Roane County,
because he was dating Reid's daughter at the time.
Davis testified in the case in which Tariff resident Tattoo Vince Golosow was
found guilty and sent to prison.
Richard Cummings and his girlfriend Sandra Khalaf, currently involved in
shoot-outs on Murder Mountain in Clay County, were also key witnesses in the
murder case.
